Nothing to see here folks
Kinda funny this seems to have flown under the radar today. Excited to see where fedimints (and Cashu) take us
Wouldn't put any sort of trust in a mint right now. We're still very early days for eCash on Bitcoin. If you want to play around with Cashu (knowing the chance of losing funds is there) I suggest Minibits or Enuts

Agreed with the current best path being Fedimints (soon) -> CTV (within next couple years). Reassess where we are after another halving or two.
Wouldn't mind taking home the 10k sat prize as a consolation for PSU getting a bit embarrassed last week. If Michigan wins, not only do I not have shot at the sats but i also have to watch scUM win a natty... May be the worst day of my life. Go Washington XD
I wasn't around for those discussions (but this would've become a problem at some point anyways imo)
10 sats \ 0 replies \ @deerwhisper 19 Dec 2023 \ parent \ on: Liquid is not a scaling solution bitcoin
Definitely an option. Haven't used Phoenix's liquidity ad thing yet.
It's just a tool in the toolbox
Liquid allows me to stack enough sats to eventually swap to the base chain and have large UTXOs in a way that lightning can't. For now, it works in a way that I need and I'm happy with that. It's just a tool in the toolbox. If usage of it were to grow, it could at least absorb some fee pressure from the base chain. You are right tho, it's not a long term scaling solution.
Really curious to see how Fedimint works in practice. Saw it was used this year at a conference and it looked pretty cool. Time will tell there.
As for covenants, still need to research it myself. Is there a covenant proposal that doesn't require a hard/soft fork? What about BitVM? Not technical enough to understand that stuff...
got popOS installed this morning and it's running good so far! like the look of everything as well. appreciate the help
Hm this may be part of the issue as I have an Nvidia GPU. Appreciate the advice. I've heard about Pop!OS (believe Seth for Privacy recommends it). Will have to give it a spin
I suppose it could be? I had problems with Mint when using it on a different laptop as well. Never had any issues with Windows for years prior. PC rig is pretty decent hardware wise. Idk
